Farm NOTES.

went on in New South Wales in Deem.
Der, Tampa being used IS there was no
harvest moon. The self.binding machines
did their work so perfectly tina. nothing
but light to keep them in the right
track was needed. Experiments in
growing wheat in parts Of this colony,
where it has not been commonly culti-
waited, have not proved encouraging
splendid crops, promising forty bushels
an acre. having been so badly injured by
rust that they had to be cut for hay.
Another disadvantage under which the
colony has suffered this year was a
plague of caterpillars in gardens and
vineyards. The unusual spectacle Of i'm.
mense swarms Of butterflies is reported
from one district, myrisds flying past
continuously from 3p. m. till shutdown.
til now conceded by many that ten
pounds Of pressed hay is equivalent to
about thirteen pounds Of loose hay. This
belief carries with it the claim that the
nourishing qualities Of the hay are much
more fully retained in the pressed bale.
1t 10 certainly true that there is much
smaller percentage Of waste. The stor-
age space for . given number Of tons is
also much to the credit Of pressed hay.
Where this article Of stock food is high
priced, this 10 . serious question with
those even who put up hay for their own
uss only. There is great need of ma
chine that is cheap enough in price to be
within the reach Of farmer, to be used
for baling an ordinary crop Of hay for his
own use.
According to the agricultural reporter
Of the Australasian, . difference Of if
teen to seventeen bushels An acre in the
Weld of wheat can be claimed to the
credit Of irrigation in some parts of Vic
toris, splendid crops besides the Murray
having bsen grown ON irrigated lands,
whereas there was quite failure in the
aame district where irrigation had not
been carried out. GraashOppers and To-
Gusts have done great deal OF damage
to the Victorian cropa during the past
season.

Senanor Hearst says he will be in the
Senate to affect some changes in the cur.
rency denomination. He wants gold
coin to be issued in denominations not
less than the twenty. dollar piece, so that
all great moneyed transactions can be
with gold. He wants silver to be made
the medium Of ''small change" To do
this he desires that silver certificates be
issued in denominations Of S. and $40,
not lower, and have silver half-dollars
take the place Of the silver dollars. The
silver dollar and the silver certificate, he
says, are nuisance, whereas the silver
half.dollar meets the convenience Of all.
Cleveland, he claims, is to day more Of .
silver man than when he went to the
Capital.

The refusal Of Controller Hallock to
draw warrants for large number OF
allowances passed by each house Of the
legislature in the shape Of resolutions on
the last day or two Of the session is graft
tying to every good citizen and probably
has the warrant Of law. 1t may be quite
true that some Of those allowances are
meritorious enough, but the law has con-
templated all those things by fixing the
compensation Of each Of the attaches be-
forehand.
We hope the Controller will disallow
every one Of them. Anybody who is in.
iarsd can appeal to the next Legislature
for redress. A miserable leakage from
the treasury will thus be stopped.
That class Of resolutions and allowances
jnpt at the adjournment Of the session
partakes very much Of the nature Of petit
larceny, and is demoralizing to every
man, woman or child who has anything
to do with it.-Nevada Union.

AN IRISH AMERICAN
RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS.

Prepared expressly for Bradstreet's.
INSURANCE POLICY-Assignment to
Relatives.-A person assigned an insur-
anGe policy Issued upon his own life 10
a cousin who lived with him as an adult
male member Of his family, and was in
dependent OF him for employment and
support, on an agreement by the as
signee to pay the assessments necessary
to keep the policy in force. This as
signment was held void by the Texas
supreme court in the case OF Price vs..
Supreme Lodge Of the Knights OF
Honor.
TRADR-M RK-LIBEL-SURvIYAL OF AC-
TION.-In the case OF Hatchard VS.. Mege,
the Queens Bench Division OF the High
Court OF Justice (England), lately held
that an action for the publication Of a
false and malicious statement calculated
to injure the plaintiffs right of proper
ty In trademark was put an end to by
the death Of the plaintiff after the COM
mencement Of the action only so far as
1t was a claim for libel, but survived in
respect OF so much Of the publication as
impugned the right OF the plaintiff to
sell under his trademark.
CoNsIGNMENT--W AREHoUsEMAN's RIGHT
TO RETAIN PROPERTY FOR ADVANCES. The
New York Factors act (lS3O) only pro-
teots persons dealing in good faith with
the apparent owners of property; hence,
where a warehouseman advances money
to a commission merchant on grain
consigned to him for sale, he cannot re-
tain possession Of the grain as security
for his advances, II he knew at the time
that the merchant was wrongfully
using the property to raise money for
himself. So held by the New York
court Of appeals, in the case OF Dorrsnce
vs.. Dean.
ASSIGNMENT FOR CRRDIToRs-MoRTGAG
OF ASSIGNED PRoPERTY.-In the case Of
Estes vs. Gunter, recently decided by
the supreme court of the United States
1t appeared that an insolvent debtor, i'm.
mediately before making and recording
general assignment, executed and re.
corded mortgage Of certain real estate
Included in the assignment, in which he
secured sureties on his note. 1t was
provided that until default the debtor
was to remain in possession Of the real
estate conveyed. The court held that
the assignment was not rendered invalid
by the reservation of the possession OF
! the land mortgaged to the debtor.

Furniture. Furniture.

Mr.. l.. Wolfson, whose popular estab-
lishment Is perhaps better known than
any other throughout West Texas, is
now Offering bargains In the furniture
department which will astonlsh buyers
besides making 1t profitable for them to
call, examine stock and get prices be-
fore buying elsewhere. Those who mean
business cannot fail to be suited in both
style and price. Mr.. WOlfson's stock Is
particularly large and choice In bed
room sets, all styles and makes, parlOr
sets from the finest and most extensive
down, kitchen furniture, and an excel
lent variety OF tables, marble top and
wood top. Furniture is a household ne
cessity to everybody, and now more
than ever so, for the reason that 1t Is not
half so expensive as In former years, and
even the best is within the reach Of the
most limited pocketbooks. Parties going
to housekeeping or those who are refur
nishing, should undoubtedly see Mr..
Wolfson first.

Was He for BURGLARY,

The residents on South Alamo street
at Nos. IL and 10 were considerably
frightened early this morning by the
appearance in their houses OF man,
supposed to be burglar, though the
women were to frightened to be able to
say whether he was white or black.
The servant Of Mrs. Womble's boarding
house first learned OF his presence in the
dining room where she was sleeping.
She was aY .kened and screamed when
he began checking her. Her screams
brought other ladies, however, and they
screamed, and the fellow was frightened
away. Shortly after the same pande-
moBium was raised In the adjoining
house, and the fellow was again frigh-
tened away, this time, probably by the
appearance of Justice McAllister, wear
ing shirt and big heavy six shOOter,
who was awakened by the din.

a luxury that could only be afforded by

Now, however. so great has been the re-
